    Cadillac margarita
    Rhett R.

    We were in Chicago for a wedding, and the rehearsal dinner was at La Catrina. Being from California -- where Mexican food is a staple -- and Hispanic myself, I'll admit my expectations weren't too high for a Mexican restaurant in Chicago. But I was pleasantly surprised! The dinner was a buffet with beef and chicken fajitas, all the fixings, plus rice and beans. The food had good flavor (just needed a touch more salt), and the rice and beans were solid. For me, refried beans are the ultimate test of a good Mexican spot -- if you can make killer beans, the rest usually follows. Now, the margaritas stole the show -- huge, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend grabbing a drink here! Their salsa also had a nice punch of cilantro, just how I like it. Overall, La Catrina was pretty decent -- flavorful food, great drinks, and a fun spot to gather and celebrate.

    Sizzling steak fajitas, good quality and quantity.

    Great experience from start to finish. Food was literally sizzling as it was brought to me! People were friendly. Chips were good. Salsa was just right with a little bite. The margaritas put a smile on my face

    Love the atmosphere and service and the fact that they have good fajitas. Didn't like my vegetarian tamales.

    Chiles Rellenos and Chicken Borracho with a tasty margarita.

    This restaurant is a great addition to places to dine on 111th street. The meals are excellent, with a variety of choices. I most enjoy the friendly welcome and attentive service. It's a relaxing atmosphere! Street parking is always available

    Everything was great. Bartender/ Server was awesome. I'd definitely come back for another visit. I was also nosey and peeped at the other food being served around me, everything looked and smelled amazing. I have a few things I want to try the next few times I come back to visit. I sat at the bar but there is also a dining section. I do wish they had some lunch or drink specials during the week, such as happy hour.

    Great Margaritas!

    First time visiting this hidden gem. Walked in at 7PM on a Friday night, and though it was crowded, we got seated within minutes. The service was great. The waiters are very attentive. The food was good, but the Margaritas were even better. I would definitely visit La Catrina again.

    Superb Customer Service From Our Server Ulises And Compliments To The Chef As Everything Was Made To Order. Strongly recommended!!!

    Everything about Mi Amor is amazing. The minute you walk in the door we were greeted warmly…read more Seating is comfortable whether you're inside or outside. Everything is decorated beautifully - it feels more like you're downtown than if you were in Evergreen Park. The food is absolutely amazing - I love their shrimp tapas. From the empanada to the tacos, I haven't eaten anything yet that wasn't worth going back for. The service is outstanding, and Ramon may be nicest human being I've ever met in the industry. Perfect for a date night or a group outing, I couldn't recommend Mi Amor enough.

    Service 5 Stars So…read morelet me start by applauding the manager for outstanding customer service--1) The willingness to override a hostess who refused a request for three adult couples who in advance requested separate checks (clearly professionals not the types that haggle about tips--smh) , and 2) sending the magician Michael to our table after we ate for a demonstration of his tremendous talents. Kudos Ramon! I also acknowledge the tremendous service from our main waiter Jose. Atmosphere 5 Stars So we sat on the patio which was enclosed and heated with an outdoor propane heat lamp. IT WAS A PERFECT SETTING for our annual couples dinner. The music was not as loud as in the main dining room and it was more illuminated--exactly the atmosphere desired for conversation with friends while breaking bread. Food = PERFECTION! We started with three delicious appetizers - 1) Patatas Bravas: Spicy potato bites with creamy guajillo aioli. The potatoes were a 3 out of 10 on the heat meter, but the aioli had kick! 2) Guacamole: Onion, serrano, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic - Topped with Pico De Gallo - Served with homemade chips. 3) Salsa Trio: Creamy Salsa Verde, Molcajete Salsa Roja, Pico de Gallo served with Homemade chips. One friend ordered the Baja Tacos - Creamy Coleslaw, Beer battered White fish, Chipotle Aioli with a side of Buttered White Rice. His plate was empty in no time and he expressed his pleasure with the dish. Two in our dinner party had the Salmon Al Carbon - 12Hour Marinated spice rub 8oz Salmon fillet al Carbon with a side of Buttered White Rice with the skin removed and crisped on the side. My wife who I expected would only eat a few bites actually consumed almost the entire piece of salmon, and my dear friend ate her entire dish! Another ordered the "Camarones A La Diabla" - 6 Jumbo Shrimp sauteed with minced garlic and Diablo Sauce served with a side of Buttered White Rice. Another empty plate. (There is a theme developing here). Finally, I had the "Chuletas De Cordero" - Lamb Chops Marinated With Herbs & Spices. Served Over Creamy Mashed Potato Puree, Alongside a delicious Chimichurri & Rich savory Gravy. I ate everything on that plate!!!! The chef was accommodating and added spinach to the plate. My friend's wife ordered a "Special" -- A Seafood Medley Pasta in a Marinara Sauce Shrimp, Calamari & Mussels if a rich pasta sauce with toasted baguettes prepared perfectly to order--I'm certain because my friend has a crustacean allergy so she ordered the dish without the shrimp and it was obvious when she didn't have an allergic reaction that the dish was freshly prepared and they didn't simply remove the shrimp. It also must have been delicious because the bowl was empty! She also ordered a side of Mexican Street Corn (Corn, butter, mayo, cotija chees, & chile powder). Yes there was room for desserts, so I ordered the Dessert Sampler for us to share - Tres Leches, a Delicate Layers Of Mexican Coffee Soaked Galletas Marias & Creamy Mascarpone; Tiramisu composed of Delicate Layers Of Mexican Coffee Soaked Galletas Marias & Creamy Mascarpone, and ordinarily a Creme Brûlée but they were out and substituted Churros-Freshly Fried, Rolled In Cinnamon Sugar Served With Dulce De Leche for the unavailable Creme Brûlée which was disappointing). My buddy l's wife had the Dessert Special -- Banana Bread Putting with caramel drizzle and vanilla bean ice cream. I had to taste all four desserts but couldn't pick a favorite because they were all EXCELLENT! 5 STAR EXPERIENCE IN THIS HIDDEN GEM!!!!

    I went to the endzone after a long day with my boyfriend, we met my sister and her boy friend…read morethere. The night started off okay and we were having an okay time. We kept getting our conversation interrupted by the bar tender whose name was Val. We were talking about old navy and she interrupted our convo and started being fatphobic about the sizes they offered "why do they have so many sizes, it's wild, who even wears that size" and when my by chimed in about how inclusive they are and how some people need it and, she started putting her foot in her mouth and tripping over her words, strike one. My boy friend then stated to talk to another patron in he bar and she kept interrupting their conversation and making it about her and her bf, but the thing is no one was talking to her once again, the patron ended up leaving after the 3rd interruption, strike 2. This final strike caused us to leave the bar and we won't ever be coming back. We were once again having a conversation, without her and she come up to us and loudly called us "Ladies" in front of everyone, this is after I had already introduced him as my boyfriend. He corrected her and I also corrected her and she just stood there with a stupid blank expression over her face like she didn't hear what we said. She then tried to give a half ass apology about her being drunk/tipsy and she didn't mean any harm by it, but the damage was done. She was obviously off of some drug or something because she couldn't sit still and she kept twitching. She never apologized and we left right after. After being a patron of this bar for over 2 years, I expected more respect or just common decency. It is soooooo unsafe and dangerous to be so unaware, especially with the political landscape of the city being what it is. She is able to go on with her life and it's not a good look for the bar and I will not be returning and telling my friends to also not return to the bar. Her behavior was beyond unacceptable and not be returning.

    Best place to get somewhat Mexican food in the Morgan Park area. It always seems to have big crowds…read moreespecially on the weekends. Americanos is known for having some authentic flavors. Maybe not too authentic but still pretty okay. They have a bar area as well as tables. A lot of fairly authentic ethnic restaurants around here. It's for sure not the most such of these, but it holds up okay. There's a lot of the patrons who are of the culture, as well as others who just want margaritas and tacos. Also looks like a great place for a fiesta. There's often some kind of banquet going on. It's about $10 for a margarita. We got a couple of these. I had the Classic Margarita, which is the original lime one. Refreshing. Food is limited for vegetarian choices. It's about $11 for the House Salad. Basic vegetables are on it. Has an arbol lime vinaigrette, which adds spice. She got the Taco Salad which has cheese and jalapeño crema among other things. Most of the rest of the menu is meaty. There's classics like tortas and that kind of stuff. For sure it's one of the reasons to come to this area. It's not the nicest looking but it's still mostly okay. The restaurant is located at the corner of 111th and Western.

It seems like one of the more happening places with the loudness and whatever. Gets crazy but not too much. The prices are better on the cocktails than on the food really. Big place with a focus on beers. If not wanting to get these there's plenty of cocktails. The alcohol obviously is the main thing. Has okay prices on it. It's about $12 for a specialty cocktail which is about what to expect for these. Because of the prices we only got a couple. I got the Main Squeeze Margarita. This is made with lime, orange juice, thyme simple syrup, triple sec, and 21 Seed Valencia Orange Tequila. As for the food it's pretty meaty. There's burgers and meaty pizzas. It's about $11 for appetizers. We got the Chips And Salsa. A pretty good amount of chips and small amount of salsa in a cup. This was pretty basic stuff without much of a kick. For sure the beers and cocktails are great. It just has basic food to be honest. This is located close to the Metra station.
